IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF PEERS, - . MONDAY, APRIL 2. Sir S. ROMILLY and Mr. STEriteN-were heard in the Appeal, Sir J. Douglas v. Wilson. Lipid HOLLAND presented a Petition from the Dis tillers of Dublin against - thelrish Distillery Bill, in sisting that, as there' was a clause in the, Bill by which it might be repealed any time dining the pre sent Session, the-Petitioners had .a right to petition against the Bill; , • - Lord DARNLEY presented a similar petition in be half 9f the Distillers of Cork ; -and:the Earl of Hard wicke also prektited a Petition front the Corn Grow ers of the Isle of Ely, against Abe Corn._ Distillery Prohibition Bill.—To ljte ,on the table. .Tile former Petitions, after some conversation be tween Lords Holland, Bathurst, and Limerick - were ordered to lie on the table. Several i)rivate and local Bills were brought up from the Connons, and read a first time. The Bills on the table were forwarded in their re spea ive 'stages.—Adjourned. • HOUSE OF 'COMMONS. . I . AtONDAY, APRIL V. A new Writ was ordered for the Borough of Marlborough, in the room of Lord Viscount Stop= ford, gone up to the - House of Lords. • On the. motion of Sir Jou& SINCLAIR, the -Bill for regulating the Highways in England and Wales was.read'a second time, and ordered to. be emu mitted,ote Thursday next.. • Mr. WHARTON moved, that there be laid-before the House certain Accounts relative to the Exche- Tier Bills lately funded, .Whi,ch were ordered:ac- . eordingly. • . . • Mr. WHARTON then moved, that there be laid before the House Copies of the Representations made to the Treasury try the Holders of the Eight Millions Exchequer Bills last - - furided, , requesting that the farther 'Sum of 311,6001. Exchequer Bills be funded on the same terms. • • - Mr. WHITBREAD observed, that the manner , in *bleb the last Bills had been funded had given much di'ssatisfaaion, many individuals having been ad mitted to the Cockpit before the doors were opened to the Public. -This subjea would come before the House in another shape, and he trusted the Hon: Gentleman was prepared to answer the complaints that were so generally made. • = Mr. Wnmerosr obseived, that the • holders of those Bills, so far from being dissatisfied, were de sirous that 311,6001. more should be funded on the same terms. Sir JOHN NEWPdRT Complained of this 'mode of raising money, as it was at a considerable additional etpence to the Public.. The 'Papers, however, be ing ordered, pursuant to the motion; Mr. Wharton brought them up, when they were ordered to lie on I the table.. The Sheriffs of• the City of London appeared at the Bar, and presented a Petition from the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, in Common Couocil assem bled, against the Rotherhithe Duck Bill; now pend ing before, the House. The _Petitioners were or dred to be heard by Counsel, or otherwise, on the ,next stage of the Bill's progress. • • The Sheriffs of the City of London alsO presented a Petition against the Commercial Dock Bill, which was disposed of in the same manner. • Ordered, on the motion of Mr. Rosa, that a Committee be appointed to inspect the Journals of the House. of Leeds on the subject of paving and improving the'City of Westminster.—The Com- Mit!ee was aominstedaccordingly. The Linen Bounty Bid was read a third time and passed. :•• • On the motion of Mr. FOSTER, the Irish Silk Bill went through_a Committee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow. • • Mr. LOCkHART, pursuant to notice; rose to move for leave to bring in ,a Bill to alter and amend the Poor Laws, so far as related to the settlement of persons in a parish, not renting above 101. a year.— The present rcstriaion, as it HOW stood, he observ-, ed, was - conformable to the Aas of the 13th and • 14th of Charlesil.. He animadverted• on the frauds and abuses that were frequently:praaised, under the colour and saneAion of these Atts, as they were now explained, while poor persons were often also the sufferers, not being permitted to improve their situ ation, or to add to their present comforts, under pre tence of this regulation. HesthereforeWished'to extend the sum to 201. or more, which, though it might appear at first sight to add to the oppressions, would, he was 'confident,, operate as a relief to _this description of,persons. The Hon. Member coniihded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill accordingly. • Mr. DAVIS GIDDY expressed.bis wishes that the labour and industry of the poor should have-as free a circulation as possible. • Leave was obtained, and the Bill ordered to be brought in accordingly. Ordere:!, that there be laid before the-Committee • for the Improvement of the Port of London the Re pots of the Committees for thesame purpose in the years i 766 and 1799., • The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER postponed till tornorrol.v his motion for a Committee of the whole House, to consider of the . augmentation of the Judges' Salaries in Scotland and Ireland. He stated at the:same time, that the measure had the recommendation of his Majesty. On the suggestion of Mr. PARNELL, the Corn.' mittee was fixed for Friday, as be. wished that a longer time should be allowed - for considering the subjea. Ordered, on the motion of Mr. H. MARTIN, that the -Papers be printed that were presented on 'Thurs day last, relative to the superannuation of Officers of the•Custorns. S.r Joust - NEWPORT, complaining that the order of the House of the tst of February, for a' state - anent of the compensations allowed for certain fees abolished in the CustoMS of Ireland, had not yet been complied with, moved that the accounts be laid before' the House forthwith. • , Mr.` FOSTER remarked, that the order had nOt'yet • been complied With, because it could not ; in the present eirCuqwanpes, the official arrangeMents and plans having not yet been completed, nor of course any compensation yet made, .Lll t, LUNDOIV, TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1810. NotwithStanding BLIONAPARTE'S matrimonial prey parations, he has not for a moment lost sight of his, great object, viz. that of injuring the commerce of this country. He seems determined, if 'possible , to line the whole coast of Europe.w,ith French Co - tom-house Officers. Letters were yesterday re- ceived from H.ehgolnd, which state, that BUONA• PAItTE has prevailed upon the king of Denmark to admit French troops into-his dominions, under the pretext; we presume, of protesting them against the enterprizes of the English. A . part .-of the. French army has already entered Holstein, and it is said that they will occupy Zealand with a_con-_ siderable force. The fortress of Colberg, which was restored to the King. of Prussia, has- been gar risoned by the French, who have alSo taken prises sion of the little islani of • Neuark, at the mouth, of the Elbe, by which means the communication. be tween Heligoland and Hamburgh are cut off. Near thirty vessels, under neutral flags, have recently been seized in the Russian ports. Letters were yesterday received from Spain, which mention a report that BUONArART4 has it in contem plation to antler; Biscay, Catalonia,. and Arragon to France. The insurre6tions in different parts of Spain which are nominally occupied by the French troops, still continue: .Some other account* :go so far as to say, that the communication between the French Army. in Andalusia and Madrid is cut In the' present state of Spain, 4nwerer, all reports ought to be received with 'a coasideta,ble degree of I • The Party having been completely defeated in tbeit i . objects, i - - - - are btisifY em?loyed in making Lists of the number of peisOns possessing places . , and of their relatives, i that voted against Lord PORCHESTER'S Resolutions. i The obje& for ' which those Lists are circulated is, no iloUbt, to insinuate that Gentlemen are in fluenced is Their votes by the . places which they possess. This is not very respeafel either to the persons alluded to, or to the House of Cour !eons ; nor do we think it a fair way of farming so opinion upon the decisions of the House of Cour mous. If, however, the argument applies at all (which we deny) it most, upon every fair priucii& of reasoning, apply equally to both sides ; for if it; can be supposed that the votes of Gentlemen on one side are governed by the possession of places, it mil; with equal - &mess, be said, that on the other side the votes are influenzed by the expectation of place, more' especially as the very result of the votes are to realize those expeekations ; and as there are always more expeaants than places, the influence arising from exile&atioA• must be snore extensive than that resulting from possession: Intelligence has been received from the coast of Africa, by the Hawke, to the 27th December. Waf had broken out 'between some of the Native Chiefs in the vicinity of D'Elmina, which was likely to he attended with the usual -barbarities that cha racterise African hostilities. The Governor of Cape Coast Castle had been solicited to interfere. By the Jamaica Mail we have received Kingston and Royal Gazettes to the lith of February. 'The Cornrocation of the new Assembly was postponed to the qth . of March, and the elections were pro ceeding, the Freeholders manifesting everywhere 3 disposition to re-elect the former Members. A A letter. from Bermuda states, that the Gover nor had prohibited the admission of any American ships into the Bermudian ports. This regulation was not known in the United States, and,seyefai ships from thence having approached with their car goes, were allowed .to land only what was sufficient in value to pay the port charges, and then were Or" dered imMediately to take their departur, On Thursday the Loire frigate, Captain A.

Its object was laudable, being intended for the correction of domestic lif e ' and though there was nothing of striking noveitY in the fable,: it ,was by no means devoid of intere st ; The character of Miss Screech, an envious old cnoi a ' who is always attempting to - destroy conjugal lor piness, was so well conceiired, that it is to be re gretted that it was not rendered more prominent to the piece. The author is supposed to be a Gentle. man. to. whom the public is indebted to severa l dramatic works of great merit, and - who ott this occasion hastily wrote it, .in order to supply th° Theatre with some novelty when nothing el s j offered. If he has brought it hastily foru . :;rd fr ow . - so friendly a motive, there can be little doubt that, with more pains; he might have made it a valua ble dclitiori 'to what are called the stock pieces of the Stage. THE -ARTS'..—WESTALI, has finished his beautiful drawing of :a NUptial Procession in Ancient Greece , The wotk may be considered as one of the vell i best that has-ever been produced in this province c' .the Arts.- It consists of about a hundred . figures> ' li , of which (as we observed in noticing the progress °' , the_ work, and not. one of- them is t rnemployed) , .in some way or other contributes to heighten the main effea. The scene is of -the most interesting nature, and produces a strong impression of aucieri t i l manners: The subject of this grand and beauti lti , drawing is , taken from one of the compartments 9'„ the Shield of Achilles, -and is the second 'w° ll ; which the ingenious Artist has derived from the sal e source.

On the motion of Mr:BANILES, tlleR6VerSll)ll Bill was reacta seeondtitne, and ordered (6-be Com mitted to-morrow.. Mt% PRENDERGAST gave 'notice, that on the toth inst. he should move tor the -prodtAionsof Papers,: relative to trie late ExpeditiOn to Macon, as also with respe& to. our :ntercourse with Canton, Mr. - WHITBREAD wised to know of the Hon.

Mr. WHArrrox stated thit he understoottfrom the .Colleetots of. Stamps they would• be .completed by nest month. ,; Mr. WHITZREAD said they had been promised in the'beginning of April ; that period was now ar- - rived, and they were not now to have them till next month. He was sorry to see so good a wtrk not yet done, thinking, as he did, that it might have been before this completed: The Report of the Committee of Supply was brpught up and agreed to. The Committee; of Supply and Ways and Means were postponed till Wednesday next. . The Irish Poor Schools Bill was read a second time, and, ordered to be committed on Wednesday next. • • On the motion of Mr. Secretarj , RYDER, the for; titer consideration of ,the Report of the Local Mi litia Bill was postponed till to-morrow. , .• Sir W. IVIILNEit spoke againit several clauses of of the Bill. - Mr. RYDER thought the remprks of the Hon. Baronet would be better deferred till to-morrow. Mr. WHITBREAD spoke against the clause not al• . lowing marching money to the men who resided in the towns where their respe6tive rcgituents were to assemble. The saving - was quite , insignificant, and the distinetion might create discontent ; it was besides unfair, as' the 'men residing in ;the town would 'necessarily . be, taken away, from their se veral employments on the day that the'"others were arriving. Sir efiARLES BUPUELL _objeCted to the system in general, as too expensive, on account. of its unnecessary expence. . One third of the number of Local Militia, as he contended; might answer the purpose J ' . Sir JOHN BEBRIGHT . thought the saving that would be effeeted by the Clause alluded to, so small, that no distinaioa. ought to be made. In his ;r4i giment he was sure it would not amount to, -gore than five pounds. - The distinction would qccaSion confusion. Mr. RYDER remarked, in . answer to Sir. C-Bur rell, who thought they ought to be rechlceil to one third, that the clause alluded-to, and the provisions of the Bill, might remain the same, whatever the number were. It would be open for any Honour- able Member afterwards to give his ,opinion respect- ing the number, and to prOpose a reduCtion in that respeEt, if necessary. _ _ _ Ordered, on the motion of Mr. CALCR AFT, that there be laid before the House a return of the num ber 010fficers on" the Staff of the Artillery and En gineer, Cot ps.
